The angles that form similarity are those that are vertically opposite and 2 pairs that are equal because the for a Z formation.


Since <LPM = <ONM then


\dfrac{LP}{NO}=\dfrac{LM}{MO}\\ \\\dfrac{5x - 10}{4x-9}=\dfrac{16}{12} Cross multiply

12*(5x - 10) = 16*(4x - 9) Remove the brackets on both sides.

60x - 120 = 64x - 144 Subtract 60x from both sides.

- 120 = 64x - 60x - 144

-120 = 4x - 144 Add 144 to both sides.

-120 + 144 = 4x

24 = 4x Divide by 4

24/4 = x

x = 6

There are seven children in the Arthur family, including one set of twins. The youngest child is 6 years old, and the oldest is
Snowcat [4.5K]
One is 6 years old, one is 16 as per the rules. Now we have 5 unknowns, of which either the twins can be both a part of, or one can be either 6 or 16 as well.

Since the mode is the most frequently occurring number, let's assume that 15 years old appears twice to make it so.

Now we have one 6 y.o, two 15 y.os, and one 16 y.o.

Out of 7 kids, the middle child has to be 10 years old to secure the median.

Now we just have two missing, and we need to figure out the mean. 6+15+15+10+16 is 62, dividing by 5 is 12.4 The mean is currently 12.4 years old. For the mean to be 11, the combined total has to be 77 (since 77/7 kids is 11 mean) 77-62 is 15. But to make sure the median stays 10, both of those kids have to be less than 10 but more than 6. Therefore, their ages must be 7 and 8.

Their ages are 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 15, 16

Let's double check to make sure we have all the qualifications. 7 kids, check. Youngest 6, check. Oldest 16, check. Twins, check. Median of 10, check. Mode of 15, check. Average of 11, well 6+7+8+10+15+15+16 is 77, 77/7 is 11, so check. Phew.

In september, seattle's daily high temperature has a mean of 70 °f and a standard deviation of 7 °f. What are the mean, standard
Anna [14]
Mean= is the summation of the maximum temperatures ÷ the numbers of times the temperatures where recorded

standard deviation= is a number used to tell how measurements for a group are spread out from the average (mean), or expected value.

A low standard deviation means that most of the numbers are very close to the average.

A high standard deviation means that the numbers are spread out.

Variance= is a way to measure how far a set of numbers is spread out.

A variance of zero indicates that all of the data values are identical. All non-zero variances are positive.

A small variance indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, and to each other.

A high variance indicates that the data points are very spread out from the mean, and from one another.

Help if your good at maths
tekilochka [14]

Let's make another angle y

Where y= 51° (corresponding angles )

and x+y= 180°. ( linear pair )

x+51°= 180° (y=51°)

x=180°-51°

x= 129°

<u>So the value of x is 129</u>°

Hope you got your answer !

Eight less than four times the number c is twenty.<br> What is the value of c?
olganol [36]

Answer:

c=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem says that 8 less than 4 times c is less than twenty, so we can first show 8 less than 20.

4c -( I did this because it said 4 times the number c)

Then, we show 8 less than that.

4c-8

It says it is twenty, and that means it equals twenty.

4c-8=20

Now we solve!

4c-8=20

   +8  +8

*we add 8 to both sides*

4c=28

*we divide both sides by 4 since we want to isolate c*

c=28/4

c=7

I hope this helped!
